They were discussing his funeral way before this day lol he has been dead for a while. These people need to stop lying to us like this.

[mariastevenson]

This is the first time he did something good for society

[CCPCrusher]

Caves to tyrants.
That's his legacy.

Everybody in their 90s is passing away… a whole generation …even my grandpa in his 90s passed away. RIP 🕊 😢

I bet he ain't in heaven! He worshipped idols(statues of Mary, and other altar-idols. Exodus 20:3-4. 👹

Sad...for the whole world? Why? He was 95years old, not 25, 35 or 45 years old. From the comment sections, nobody is SAD at all.

95 years...I wonder how much debauchery this man of faith was privately up to for much of his life as the face of an entire religion, its lofty palatial estates, and slew of tartuffes.

Let's not start celebrating the life of this obscene "cleric", when we should actually feel good about his passing.

[stephenreese]

You do realize that he was in the Hitler Youth and served on an antiaircraft team? He may have been Pope but, he wasn’t always smart.

[Vegas-pw]

I'm pretty sure now he's feeling the heat 🔥, he knew about all those childrens around the world being molested by their priest and turned the blind eye on this issue, shame on him.

[edwardsflores]

Out of all the popes he like Instagram models I like him the best.

[Christopher-zirq]

The world has taken a turn for the better...

[younis]

The good the Catholic church has done for the humanity is just unparallel. Rest in everlast peace Beloved Pope, and an emminant theologian.
(convert to the Catholic Church after rabidly hating it for so many years).

Were is final words, "Stop putting special Crosses of little kids. Stop using little Kids. Our God is a sinister prick, but we shouldn't be slipping it to children."?

[rwm]

Him and Barbara Walters, 2023 shaping up pretty good early on.

[YAH-]

Good Riddance 👹 think about all the babies he sacrificed 😒

[kategress]

That demon went back to where he came from.

[mushmmm]

Evil man... won’t lose a wink of sleep
